The Brady Boomers - The 'Tween Generation - Thread 2

[WIMom]

---

Most who were born at the tail end of the baby boom

- 1956 to 1964 or the beginning of GenX - 1965 to 1970 -

feel we are not part of those generations.

Therefore, it has been decided, we will be forever know as

THE BRADY BOOMERS

---

1. We were too young to serve in Vietnam, but remember the news.

2. As far as we're concerned, the music, television and popular entertainment and heroes of the 60s were and still are a matter for personal taste, and don't represent the shining apex of all civilization, icons to be revered by generations to come - in short, the Beatles were just a band that some might not like, and old Trek was cheesy and not well written.

3. Old boomers came into adulthood at while we were playing with Barbies or G.I. Joes.

4. Our clothes and music tended to be lighthearted, and we are more conservative/libertarian as a whole than the older boomers.

5. And of course, we faithfully watched The Brady Bunch every Friday night.

Unusual sex toy for x42.

Hi Kids! I'm sneakin' a quickie FReep. I'm visiting my folks this weekend and I brought my laptop so that I could see what's happening!! I'm on dial-up and I miss my DSL!! These threads take so LONG when they get over 20 posts!

Too funny, about the cigs. I was just remembering seeing the vending machines - what were they - 50 cents a pack? Now, they are like $5.50, I think. I saw some guy buy a pack last night (Black Watch in L.G., Sabertooth!) and I about fell over!

CC :)

[MasonGal]

Well - I need to go to bed -I'm going to have to sleep on it. It will probably come to me at 2:30 am!!

I'd love to chat some more - but gotta go.

It's been fun!!!

[MasonGal]

Hey - Cheney Chick - before I go - meant to say thanks for the picture of "Midge",you sent me a few nights ago.!! :))

[Sabertooth]

The Black Watch? It's still there, huh?

Used to cruise Los Gatos Blvd all the time in high school.

[Sabertooth]

OK, is ANYONE seeing the TEEN magazine cover here on post #127 besides me?

I've reloaded the page, and even quit and restarted my browser, with no problem. I saw it in the preview before I posted, and I can see it now, but WIMom says she can't.

[WIMom]

THE BRADY BOOMERS!

[CheneyChick]

Used to cruise Los Gatos Blvd all the time in high school.

LOL. I think we all did! Remember how they would shut it down?!

[Sabertooth]

"Remember how they would shut it down?!"

Yep. That's when we'd kick it back over to your old stomping grounds... Stevens Creek Blvd.

Remember Mother's Disco? Fargo's?

See you on thread #3.

[WIMom]

We had Villard Ave, then we moved to Highway 100. Now, I don't think there is a place for cruising in Milwaukee anymore.

[Senator Pardek]

This thread is misleading. "The Brady Bunch" did not gain legendary status until it went into reruns - which places it in the same class as "Star Trek".

But that's grist for a different mill.

[higgmeister]

Not a Brady Boomer.  Real Boomer a few years to sooner.

Thus I remember #5, Edie Adams singing this one for Muriel Cigars!

[MasonGal]

Oh YEAH - That's IT!!!

That #5 was giving me fits. :))
